Don't you hate it when ....
People use their kids to ask for stuff they know you'll say no to ?

I have a neighbor/friend who is sorta needy/co-dependent, and thinks she can manipulate me into doing things she wants/needs done by sending her kids to ask me <example: we have freezing rain today, and the teenage daughter just stopped by to ask me if I 'felt like going to the mall' .... when I said 'not in this weather', she asked if they could take my car. Ummm.... Not only no, but HELL no ?!?>

Why do people do shit like that ?!?!? :wtf:


:hippie:

3. Not only do neighbors and family members use their kids
but ad agencies do as well.

After all who could say no to a chiiiiilllld?


But if it's for the chilllllldreeen then you are perceived as being selfish if you dare say no.
